A block of wood floats in water in the stable equilibrium position shown. The block is displaced slightly in the vertical direction and released. Derive the differential equation of motion, and show that the motion of the block is simple harmonic. Find the period, knowing that the densities of wood and water are 600 kg/m3 and 1000 kg/m3, respectively. 150 min

A block of wood floats in water in the stable quilibrium position shown. The block is displaced slightly in the vertical direction and released. Derive the differential equation of motion, and show that the motion of the block is simple harmonic. Find the period, knowing that the densities of wood and water are 600 kg/m3 and 1000 ke/m3, respectively.
